Got back to work on my car this morning... tightened a lot of bolts, installed the clutch Z bar, driveshaft, belts, core support. In between that I put four new upper control arm bushings in my father's 72' Lemans. I quit around 11:30, sore all over and it was hot! (I saw 88* in the shade a little before 10:30)



Tuesday... fuel pump, lead pipes, top off fluids, distributor cap, plug wires, and some wiring connections - it will run again.

Engine and transmission back in the car. Still much to put back on, but the heavy lifting is done. Nearly lost a fingertip and have some gashes in my forearm... but I can live with that knowing that I got things done today.

I'm going to dive in headfirst on Tuesday, my day off, and hopefully hear it run again. This time without any bad noises.
